What Is the Whoop Tracker and What Does It Do?

Fitness trackers are great for people who are trying to get their daily steps up, people who need a reminder here and there to get their body moving, and people who like to see stats about their health. If you're looking for a more in-depth analysis about how hard you're training, how your body is recovering, and your sleep quality, the Whoop 3.0 has got you covered.

It's a pretty minimal device that has no screen (nope, you can't tell time on the device or screen your texts and calls) and a simple band. At first, I was bummed I couldn't track my steps, but I do like that it's all about my performance and I can truly disconnect from all the distractions on my phone.

I also like that it's a device with interchangeable bands; perfect for the days when I have to go to events and dress up. It's also waterproof which means you can wear it in the shower and when you do activities in water.

It's similar but also very different from most trackers, and the three main variables the Whoop 3.0 device measures are: strain, recovery, and sleep.

This Is the Popular Fitness Tracker That Helped Improve My Sleep and Workouts

September 6, 2019

My love of technology is heavily influenced by my dad. He always had some new gadget - from DJ equipment to PalmPilots (remember those?!) - lying around the house and naturally, I became a tech geek.

Being a collegiate athlete exposed me to top-notch technology, equipment, and recovery tools to take care of my body, recover from injuries, and improve my athletic performance. I no longer spend 10 months out of the year training and competing nonstop, but I'm still very active and train similar to how I did during my collegiate track and field years.

Although my workout program isn't as intense and demanding as it was in college, I still put a lot of strain on my body. This is where the Whoop 3.0 performance tracker ($30 a month with a six month commitment) comes into play.
